Ida Makes a Movie (1979) watch online

Ida Makes a Movie is a 1979 Canadian after school special short film produced by Kit Hood and Linda Schuyler for the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, who aired the film on September 12, 1979. The story was adapted from the 1974 children's picture book Ida Makes a Movie, which was written by Kay Chorao. Schuyler, a former media teacher at Earl Grey Senior Public School, was introduced to the book via the school's librarian, and purchased the film rights from Chorao for $200.

The film led to a series of further short films that aired on the CBC, which later developed into The Kids of Degrassi Street, the first series in the Degrassi teen drama franchise.
